Description:
The 1864 Civil War battle of Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia, was a fight waged by first-string generals, commanding battle-hardened, veteran armies. Here, the north's aggressive, and successful general, Ulysses S. Grant, fought the south's finest tactician, Robert E. Lee. This campaign was the first time during the Civil War these two 'heavyweights' opposed each other. Subsequently, at Spotsylvania Court House, this savagery, this clash of determined bulldogs, was staggering. At the Battle of Spotsylvania after fourteen days of fighting, nearly 18,000 northerners and 10,000 southerners were either killed, maimed or captured. Reenactment film production veterans, Wide Awake Films, who have brought you award-winning, historically-accurate battle documentaries such as Franklin: Five Hours in the Valley of Death and Chickamauga, have produced this new documentary film.
